Chris Cresswell (Flatliners/Hot Water Music) with Special Guests John Snodgrass and Seth Anderson

  • Palmer's Bar 500 Cedar Ave S Minneapolis, MN 55454 United States (map)

Palmer's welcomes Chris Cresswell of Flatliners/Hot Water Music on his solo tour!

$15 advance tickets and $20 at the door.

Chris Cresswell is trading in his signature snarl found in his longtime main squeeze and Canadian punk stalwarts The Flatliners and recent gig with post-punk legends Hot Water Music, for a softer approach on his newly announced solo album The Stubbornness of the Young - his first full length since his solo debut in 2014. Cresswell’s sophomore album will be the first release on The Flatliners’ newly minted record label PWC Recordings, which is described by the band as “an exciting new chapter in our ongoing quest for sonic jubilation.”

The lead single Behind The Crow shows Cresswell leaning into the fully expanded sound he’s hinted at before, but never executed quite like this. A big tune to celebrate how a busy mind can make some positive noise, with a groove that is sure to keep your brain bouncing all summer long.

Behind The Crow is out June 9th

The Stubbornness of the Young is out September 15th on PWC Recordings.

Jon Snodgrass is a musician and member of the groups Armchair Martian, Scorpios, and Drag the River. He also performs solo and has collaborated with other musicians, including Tim McIlrath of Rise Against, and Joey Cape of Lagwagon.

Seth Anderson has spent his time on a journey; in search of his truth, purpose, and an understanding of the world around him and his place in it. His songwriting offers an honest view of life from a unique perspective that has stemmed from years of travelling, moving from town to town, city to city, highway to highway; the high peaks, the low valleys, and all the spaces in between. Through all of this, there maintains one common thread- a bellow for love and hope. With an intensely emotional connection to his craft, Seth’s delivery is genuine, yet at times ferocious with both conviction and vulnerability, comparative to artists such as Steve Earle, AA Bondy, the Weakerthans, and Frank Turner. His evolution began in a small town DIY scene where he grew up in Hartland, New Brunswick; followed by years of a blue-collar approach to his career, putting in thousands of miles while taking his music to audiences all over the world. His highly anticipated February, 2020 release, “We Could Be.” (Snappy Little Numbers), was an impressive step forward for Seth in his exploration of songwriting, musical styles and sounds.
